Straight answers

Questions before you apply.

Yes. Gameday Hustle is a US recruiting company that hires match scouts as independent contractors (1099). You get paid for every game you actually scout — $125 for MLS matches and $100 for other soccer leagues — plus a covered ticket and reimbursed travel, paid out every two weeks. It's real income, not points or rewards.
No. Training is free and built for beginners. If you can follow a match and tap your phone accurately, you can do this. Being a fan helps, but it isn't a requirement.
It's free and 100% online. You work through a set of manuals, answer some test questions to check you've got it, and finish with a practice test match. The whole thing takes under 10 hours and you do it at your own pace — before your first paid game.
You attend the match and log key moments and stats on your phone as they happen. That's it — watch closely, record accurately, submit. Most scouts say it makes the game more fun to follow, not less.
You're paid for every completed game — $125 for MLS matches, $100 for other soccer leagues — and payouts go out every two weeks. Travel to the venue is reimbursed on top. As a 1099 contractor you're responsible for your own taxes; we'll walk you through the details when you're onboarded.
Roughly the length of a match plus a little setup — a few hours per game. You choose which games you take, so it flexes around school, work, or whatever else you've got going.
We're focused on soccer across US markets, with MLS first and more leagues rolling out. Take the qualifier and pick your city — we'll match you to games near you as openings come up.
